Chapter 2 9 Dragons Warehouse Stock Price
Gu Yuhan curled his lips into a smile and said slowly, "I don't think so. Looking at the current situation, land in Hong Kong is already incredibly valuable, and labor costs will only continue to rise. Unless we can master our own unique and irreplaceable core technologies, the manufacturing industry will inevitably decline sooner or later. In my opinion, these low-end manufacturing industries will eventually have to move to the mainland!"
Gu Zhenguo froze on the spot after hearing this, and said with a face full of surprise, "But how could that be on the mainland? Their current situation..."
"The policies on the mainland will soon undergo a dramatic change."
Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "Dad, if you don't believe me, we'll see. But speaking of which, Dad, do you admit that land in Hong Kong is incredibly valuable right now?" Gu Zhenguo nodded subconsciously and said, "You're not wrong."
Gu Yuhan then calmly asked, "Dad, have you been paying attention to Wharf Holdings' stock price?" "I haven't really been keeping an eye on that."
Gu Zhenguo's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Gu Yuhan and asked, "What, son, do you understand?"
"Right now, Wharf Holdings' share price is only HK$11.8." Gu Yuhan smiled confidently and said slowly, "Dad, do you think this price is high or low?"
Gu Zhenguo's body jolted. Gu Yuhan continued calmly, "Dad, in my opinion, this price is ridiculously low. You know, land prices in Hong Kong haven't dropped at all; on the contrary, they're skyrocketing, especially in the core commercial district of Tsim Sha Tsui, where every inch of land is incredibly valuable. Under these circumstances, Wharf Holdings' share price shouldn't be what it is now." What kind of person is Gu Zhenguo? He's a shrewd individual who climbed his way up from the bottom, starting from nothing. Gu Yuhan's few simple words were enough to make Gu Zhenguo take it very seriously.
"In my opinion, as long as Wharf Holdings can fully utilize its land resources, maintaining a 20% annual growth rate for the next ten years will not be a problem at all. But Wharf Holdings' share price is currently so low. If we take advantage of this opportunity to acquire Wharf Holdings' shares now, whether we take control of the group and manage it later, or sell them when the share price rises, it will be a sure-fire way to make a profit!"
*Smack!* Gu Zhenguo slammed his chopsticks on the table and immediately ordered, "Prepare the car! I'm going to the company now!"
Standing to the side, the mother, Zhong Hong, looked utterly astonished. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "We haven't even finished our meal yet, and you're already going to the company?"
"This is a golden opportunity!" Gu Zhen said rapidly, "Go now! We can't afford to waste a single moment!"
Watching his parents hurriedly get up and leave, Gu Yuhan smiled faintly, but his mind was already racing, considering the countless stunning beauties in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It would have been better if he hadn't started thinking about it. But once he did, he suddenly realized that all the Hong Kong and Taiwanese actresses of that era were in their prime, fresh and beautiful, each with their own unique charm. Moreover, there was a very high probability that they were all naive and inexperienced young women.
Let Dad handle the money-making; I just need to peacefully inherit the family fortune and enjoy life. That kind of life couldn't be more comfortable!
Of course, you still have to work hard when it's time to work hard. Isn't life all about moving forward towards becoming richer and richer?
However, for Gu Yuhan now, making money is not difficult at all. More importantly, he wants to enjoy this second chance at life.
The battle for Wharf Holdings, the Hutchison Whampoa takeover, the second oil crisis of 1978, the Carignan Group scandal of 1981, the Hong Kong dollar crisis of 1983, the Plaza Accord of 1985, and the collapse of the island nation's economic bubble in 1990.
Every event in this story holds a tremendous opportunity to become rich overnight and rise to the top. The golden age of China's economic boom is just around the corner. He did the math in his head; he was eighteen by the Chinese age reckoning, but only sixteen by Western reckoning. Even by 2008, he would only be thirty-six.
After a quick mental calculation, Gu Yuhan felt a surge of excitement. Besides the countless opportunities to make money, the gentle and beautiful girls on the mainland were also a rare sight.
With his current top-tier family background and looks, money and beautiful women are practically within his grasp; a double win couldn't be easier.
With these conditions, it's hard not to achieve great success. Should I just drop out of school?
Gu Yuhan knew in his heart that whether he went to this school or not was actually meaningless. What he needed to learn could not be taught in the school. Staying here was just to get a degree.
But can't this kind of thing be bought with money?
Moreover, the original owner of this body was never the type to be a studious person. He indulged in all sorts of vices, from eating and drinking to gambling and whoring.
Later generations often say that those top-tier rich kids are all exceptionally well-mannered, have received top-notch higher education, excel academically, have broad horizons, and are rich in experience. Even if they wield power, they do far better than ordinary people. But in Gu Yuhan's view, these words are just to be taken with a grain of salt; they are simply not true.
Good my ass!
These people have no basic empathy at all. If these rich kids born with a silver spoon in their mouths were to take power, they would think that people who can't even afford to fly on a plane don't deserve to be called human.
Gu Yuhan, a student at Victoria Noble Academy, yawned deeply and slowly got out of the car.
He had barely steadied himself when he saw a student approach him with a fawning expression, bowing and scraping, and respectfully saying, "Young Master Gu!"
Gu Yuhan recognized the man at a glance; his name was Zhou Jun.
How should I put it? This person is his most loyal lackey, who serves him every day, acts as his wingman, finds him girls, and uses his name to swagger around and bully others.
The Zhou family relied entirely on the meager profits that his father made, so Zhou Jun was raised from a young age to be his family's follower.
"Ah Jun." Gu Yuhan glanced at Zhou Jun sideways, his attitude no different from usual. He didn't seem to care much about him, but he wasn't too indifferent either.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Jun approached with a fawning expression and said, "Young Master Gu, Su Rongrong has something to say to you!" "Oh?" Gu Yuhan's face curled into a playful smile as he asked, "You resolved it?"
Su Rongrong was also one of the original owner's long-cherished targets. The girl was exceptionally beautiful, with a slender and graceful figure and delicate, fair skin. Unfortunately, the original owner tried for a long time but never succeeded.
This girl named Su Rongrong comes from a relatively well-off family.
After all, they come from families that can afford to send their children to prestigious academies.
"hey-hey!"
Zhou Jun quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes, I've found out everything. Su Rongrong's family bought stocks recently, and ended up losing everything. I only found out the details yesterday. They're now burdened with astronomical debts. Even though her father is in this state, he's still thinking about making a comeback. He went to the casino and gambled like crazy, squandering all their savings!"
Gu Yuhan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly: "All show and no substance!"
Zhou Jun burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all show and no substance! Young Master Gu is so knowledgeable, he knows so many words!"
Gu Yuhan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
This kid's flattery skills have become increasingly refined. He glanced at Zhou Jun sideways and said in a flat tone, "Get to the point!"
"The day before yesterday, Su Rongrong's father jumped into the sea and committed suicide. Yesterday, Su Rongrong's mother was harassed by gang members demanding repayment of debts, and she also committed suicide!" Zhou Jun quickly sped up his speech, "So now Su Rongrong is all alone and helpless, and the gang still won't let it go, forcing her to repay her debts and sell herself in brothels to pay them off!"
"Holy crap, this girl's life is just too tragic!" Gu Yuhan couldn't help but blurt out.
"So, I went to talk to her specifically. If she wants to live a peaceful life now, she'll have to rely on you, Young Master Gu!" Zhou Jun chuckled slyly.
"She agreed?" Gu Yuhan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How dare she refuse?" Zhou Jun's eyes widened instantly. "Only by following you, Young Master Gu, can she avoid being harassed by the gang. How dare she refuse?"
"How do you know so much about their family affairs?" Gu Yuhan looked at Zhou Jun with some surprise.
Zhou Jun just chuckled and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Young Master Gu, I may not have any other skills, but I take your affairs very seriously. Your affairs are my affairs. You certainly won't investigate these matters, so I will definitely do my best to handle everything perfectly for you!"
"Holy crap!" Gu Yuhan couldn't help but curse, looking Zhou Jun up and down several times, secretly thinking, "What a super useful lackey!"
"Bring her to meet me!" Gu Yuhan grinned.
In the fragments of memory in his mind, this was someone the original owner of the body had tried with great effort but failed to obtain. Unexpectedly, he had now gotten a freebie.
It's like a piece of fatty meat being offered to you; why not take it?
Gu Yuhan's current feeling is that he was too poor in his previous life and never experienced the feeling of being rich.
If I had such a wealthy family in my past life, I would definitely have had a loyal follower like Zhou Jun by my side. I wouldn't even need to lift a finger to do anything; Zhou Jun would handle everything perfectly and meticulously for me.
Gu Yuhan now truly felt that Zhou Jun, this lackey, was incredibly easy to use.
In another secluded corner of the campus, Gu Yuhan finally met Su Rongrong. Su Rongrong looked pure and lovely, as beautiful as a flower, delicate and delicious. Just one glance was enough to stir one's heart and make one's mouth water.
"Young Master Gu!" Upon seeing Gu Yuhan, Su Rongrong quickly lowered her eyes timidly and gently bowed her head.
She knew better than anyone her current predicament. Her father had gambled away his entire fortune in the stock market and lost it all. To make matters worse, he went to the casino to gamble recklessly, inadvertently getting involved with a ruthless gang.
Now, both his parents have passed away.
With no relatives or friends around, no one to rely on, and most importantly, these gang members will never let him go, what is his only choice?
Just when he was at his wit's end, Zhou Jun found himself.
Since Gu Yuhan has always had feelings for her, then directly siding with Gu Yuhan would undoubtedly be an excellent choice.
His family is so rich and powerful, they can definitely protect him.
Once she made up her mind, Su Rongrong immediately felt relieved. Being remembered by Gu Shao was much better than being surrounded and coveted by a pack of wolves and tigers.
Besides, he is so handsome and outstanding.
Even if it costs several years of your youth, you won't lose out at all.
Overall, despite having "aristocratic" in its name, Victoria Academy is actually quite different from what you'd expect from a typical aristocratic college.
To be precise, apart from schools run by Americans themselves, there is no clear and distinct hierarchical division among Hong Kong's elite Chinese colleges.
The Gu family, a top-tier wealthy family with a net worth of billions, studies at Victoria Academy, while Su Rongrong, from an ordinary family with a combined net worth of less than one million, also studies at the same Victoria Academy.
There was never a clear distinction between them from beginning to end. The main reason is that the British simply did not consider Chinese people to be equals with them. At least in Hong Kong, there was no distinction between them and those white gentlemen.
Of course, for the wealthy and powerful Chinese in Hong Kong, the best way out is to send their children to study in the United Kingdom.
Gu Yuhan had been sent there before, and this young master Gu stayed there for two years but didn't learn a single word of English. He cried and begged to go back to Hong Kong. In contrast, Li Ka-shing's eldest son, Li Zeju, continued his studies in the United Kingdom and later planned to study at the University of California, Berkeley.
Overall, although Chinese capital had begun to emerge and gradually rise in 1978, it was not enough to completely shake the capital foundation that the British had held for a century.
Chinese capital can only truly achieve a full-scale rise after the Iron Lady has been taught a lesson.
However, as the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring." In fact, many astute Chinese capitalists have already caught the signs of a change in the wind. For example, the famous shipping magnate has begun to prepare to abandon ship and go ashore, secretly plotting to acquire the core capital held by the British.
Of course, some people have sensed the mainland's firm will, but do not believe that the mainland has the strength and confidence to do so.
One step behind means falling behind at every step.
Gu Yuhan turned her head and glanced at Zhou Jun indifferently.
